In this article, I want to discuss about religion. First of all, imagine the society without religion.If there is no religion, there is no civilization. I mean, if a person doesn't fear god and every choice he/she makes is left to his/her discretion. Instead of helping a blind person he/she will make fun of him/her, if there is a choice between killing and forgiving, people will kill(most probably).I mean, if people fear nothing, they most probably will take the violent side and the bad side(according to a religion).Hence, the intellectuals formed certain rules (which are the religious beliefs) and a god, whom people fear and abstain from committing crimes. According to a religion, ghosts reside in the trees during night times and because of this belief people never slept under trees in the night. Scientifically, during night time trees release CO2 and its bad for our health. Some intellectual person would have noticed this (But, if you say to the mob about these bad effects they will never listen)So, they imposed it through a belief, religious or not.Similarly, basil tree. Nobody cares if you ask them to grow basil tree without any reason.So, it was imposed through religion. In a way, religion is good up to certain extent.Now that we are in the times dominated by technology, where rules and regulations are implemented by a judicial system. I would say there is no need of any staunch religious beliefs (one can preserve his/her culture that is a different thing). I mean, if a particular religion is hurting your belief with their eating habits etc, you shouldn't take it to heart and should see things in a broader way. I know this is difficult, but can be achieved. One shouldn't stereotype the whole community based his/her encounter with a group of people. This can be achieved through looking into the past. History teaches us a lot about religion. One of my friends, tells me that we fight(this is true upto certain extent) some way or the other, why not this way? The only thing we can do is, control the devil in us. Thats what religion tried to do from antediluvian times. But, it ended up in a different way thats a different thing. Pragmatically, a world without religion is out of question, to end this religious wars, one should respect other religions and beliefs. I would say, this can be done by treating others religions like neighbors kids(If a neighbor leaves his kids in your house, you will look after them more prudently than your own kids).

The Gory Gourmet
Hereafter, I will be writing some interesting articles about my forays into the difficult territory of cooking. If you have one brain cell, you would have guessed why I named it gory gourmet(if you haven't, its because I cut my fingers often and its bloody around) and I like the rhyming names like peter parker, silver surfer etc.So, the name gory gourmet!
Yesterday, I tried to make egg bhurji(sort of egg fry).First of all, I took three onions(unians not oonions).Tried to chop these into smallest pieces possible, but after cutting one onion, I began to cry(last time I cried was eeons ago, when a bloody boy took away my talking puppy toy).If my computer programming prof would have seen me at that time, he would have given an A+++.I rinsed my eyes and some how managed to cut all the three onions. Then, I poured some oil into a vessel and heated it.After some time, I put the cut onion pieces into it and fried till the onion pieces turned brown.Then, there was a difficult task of making the egg crack into exactly two halves and almost managed it by meticulously making a dent in an exact semicircle manner.Added a tea spoon of salt and chilli powder, each.Poured a cup full of water into the cooking vessel and heated it and the egg bhurji was ready in 5 minutes.Entire thing took around 20 minutes.

God willing!
I am not an ardent follower of any religion, but I noticed one interesting characteristic of old people.
One should see how the faces of old people gleam when they say "antha daivaadenam"(God Willing), which is generally said after thinking about the troubles of zillion people on the earth and the mars, if at all life exists there.This might help some times, when you are in a dire situation.Just say "God willing" and everything before you gets untangled.

e-bitch!
This is intended to people, who are going to fall for an egregious and diabolical community called e-bitch(If you have heard the name, it will definitely make sense).This a community, where you are bound to lose some money if you are not a gifted and iniquitous salesman(I am definitely not hard on them).
This community sells one cd(which teaches you some programming languages and stuff like that), some web space and some shit like that for around 8000 INR. If you market this product and make some three people join under you, you might get around 1700 INR in the starting(but they say you get a pay check of 2000 INR.Even you have to say that, when you endorse this stuff).This joining should be in particular order(two people under one leg and one person on the other.This ratio should be always maintained.Well, let us not go deep into it.It is basically intended to empty your pocket).I remember one thing whenever I think about salesman or communities like this.In the battle of kurukshetra (pandavas vs kauravas), seeing Dronacharya ravaging their armies, pandavas go to Lord Krishna asking for a solution.Lord Krishna asks yudistra to do a salesman job(drona trusts only yudistra, as he is know for his truthfulness).So, Lord Krishna asks them to name an elephant as Aswathama(son of drona) and kill it.Next day in the battlefield, yudistra shouts "Aswathama Hathaha"(Aswathama is dead) loudly and whishpers " Kunjaraha"(an elephant).As yudistra says this Drona believes it. Unable to overcome his languor, he sits in his chariot mourning.Seeing this as a opportunity, Arjuna releases his arrow and kills him (Its not the right thing to do, but got the intended result). Now, you see how salesmen are!! They highlight some good parts covering up all the drawbacks.Coming to e-bitch, it exactly does the same thing!!!You will never earn shit unless you are a gifted salesman (you know what I mean).First of all, the package, it gives is not worth buying.It doesn't have any quality and I have not seen a person, who has learnt stuff from of it. So, be careful with communities like anneway ;) etc. Even if it is alluring just restrain your self for a minute and think about positives and negatives, you will be able to figure it out yourself.
